Soak everthing in your favorite solution, I prefer PB Blaster. You can use a hammer(I like a 4# one) and just hit the top of the ball joint with the nut threaded to the top and it will usually break loose. Make sure you soak the wedge pin/bolt that the strut fits into. Remove the pin/bolt before you remove the balljoint from the A-rm, sometimes this will require a prickel fork tool.
I prefer to use the socket for installation and removal but I have a 450# 1/2 inch impact wrench. Make sure the whole ball joint nut is clean and you will not have andy trouble with the socket. Tie rods are pretty straight forward. Measure your old tie rods end to end and try to match the length. It will put you in the ball park to get to the alignment shop. |
